Background: Genital apparatus represents the anatomical support for the bladder and rectum, therefore, inevitably the genital prolapse implies serious anatomical and functional alterations of these organs. Pelvic organ prolapse is one of the most common pathological conditions in postmenopausal women.Pelvic organ prolapse suspensions (POPS) is a recent surgical procedure for one-stage treatment of multiorgan female pelvic prolapse.
Methods: This observational study evaluated the preliminary results of POPS of 42 women with a mean age of 50 within 4 years of period. Patients underwent posterior colpoperineorrhaphy to correct residual rectocele and hiatal enlargement at the same time.
Results: We had no relapses and the preliminary results were excellent. We evaluated the patients after 6 months follow-up and confirmed the validity of our treatment. The technique is simpler than traditional treatments with an important reduction or completely disappearance of the pre-operative symptoms.
Conclusions: Uterus-preserving pops operation was found to be safe and effective with high patient satisfaction rates and simultaneous correction of anterior prolapse. Significant improvements in patients quality of life.
